Columbia, SC

My day trip to the state capital -

They have a lovely Main Street area, but the fascinating sight for me as I drove around the downtown area, was the number of beautiful Gothic style churches.  Definitely in the Bible Belt .... there is a church on every street.

Another interesting thing I discovered while driving around was that at all the major intersections there is a plaque explaining the origin of the street name, how long it has existed and its significance.  I thought that was kind of cool.



South Carolina State Museum - Located in a historic renovated textile mill, this four-story facility includes exhibits on art, cultural and natural history, science, and technology.



Woodrow Wilson Family Home- Built in 1871, the family moved here when Woodrow Wilson was 14 years old.

I would have loved to have taken the State House tour but there was some sort of assembly ( I don't know if it was peaceful or political) on the front "lawn" area and I didn't know how strict the security would be. There was quite a bit of police presence.  Also, I managed to tweak my back and I can hardly walk ....


I am actually falling apart.  My back has been hurting since I left California (I can hardly walk and have muscle spasms - I'll have to find another Chiropractor soon); I got a tooth ache, which passed, but I don't know what that was about; I am having the worst full-blown allergy episode ever and I can hardly breathe .... holy moley.

Oh, and my excitement about the Jicima was short-lived .... it was really bad.  It was spoiled.
